Integration of a 980nm laser diode and silica planar waveguide

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This paper describes work in the area of hybridisation of optoelectronic devices and passive optical waveguide elements. The potential coupling efficiency of a laser diode to silica waveguides and fibres was improved by waveguide engineering. These diodes displayed far field angles of 16.5° in the transverse direction. Strategies for passively aligning the diodes to planar silica waveguides on silicon substrates are also presented.
